The Made in England New Balance’s are perceived as more prestigious models over the models manufactured in other countries, this is due to the quality and execution the England models guarantee. These sought after models have been appearing more and more in the U.S and a trio of the M1300 have just hit Long Beach boutique, Proper. Although the brown/orange, red/yellow and blue/yellow 1300s have been seen overseas, its nice to see premium models hit U.S retailers.
